Although God's revealed will in Scripture is often dismissed, ignored, or even labeled as hate speech, the consequences of celebrating sin will come. Ancient Babylon's leaders had no idea that their time was up until it was too late. A festive party ended in the king's death, and God's judgment was served. In this message, we're equipped to proclaim God's Word with compassion and conviction.

Are we willing to stand alone, knowing that God stands with us? Daniel was alone in warning the Babylonian king of his pending destruction. That night, King Belshazzar's feast began with revelry but ended with his death and the downfall of his empire. In this message, let's explore Daniel's three indictments against Belshazzar in the last hour. We'll be challenged to live for Christ in a world that's lost its way.

The judgment of God may be long in coming, but it can come with a vengeance. When the pride, blasphemy, and idolatry of Babylon had gone far enough, God wrote the handwriting on the wall. In this message, we set the scene of the Babylonian king's "happy hour" as well as his perplexing hour. Let's face how God deals with nations, even America.

When most people might bow to the power of the state or cultural pressures, Christians must remain faithful. We've come to know the living and the true God. In this message, we'll look at two more lessons for America from the faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Are we prepared to face the consequences—whether God delivers us or not?

Some persecuted believers are spared while others go through torture and death. For three exiles in Babylon, their immediate well-being was less important to them than honoring the one true God. In this message, we examine why Christians, even those with religious freedoms, should expect persecution. Let's anchor our confidence in God's purposes.

Why doesn't God deliver everyone from harm? When Daniel's friends refused to offer worship the Babylonian king, they were tossed into a fiery furnace. In this message, we consider what compelled these men of faith to firmly stand, even if God didn't rescue them from the fire. Do you believe God is in charge, even when the outcome is uncertain?

Every day, cultural and civil pressure mounts on the Christian faith. How should believers react? For Israelites in ancient Babylon, there was no freedom of religion as they faced government oppression. In this message from Daniel 3, we investigate the context of a true story of courage.

Some situations push us to face conflicting choices. Some other Christians might even have a difference of opinion. Daniel's friends went along with their Babylonian captors as far as they could but drew the line when their consciences told them "No." In this message, we learn how to live by biblical principles when we're faced with questions of conscience.

When authorities tell us to do one thing, and the Bible tells us to do the opposite, what do we do? Whenever possible, we should be in the culture, just like Daniel and his friends among their Babylonian captors. But sometimes, we must resolve to take a stand and draw a line in the sand. In this message, we'll contemplate biblical principles when we face conflicts of conscience.

Christians in America are rapidly becoming like Daniel and his friends in Babylon: out of sync with their pagan environment. How do we reconcile what we believe with how to live in such a culture? In this message, we'll identify three different ways we can respond to a pagan culture. Let's find out how Daniel participated in the culture.
